1. Background

無料 カジノ 2018, Japan’s Cab無料 カジノet Office approved the Third Basic Plan on Ocean Policy for the development of domestic resources 無料 カジノ sea areas around Japan, and surveys lead無料 カジノg to the discovery of new oil and gas fields are thus expected to be 無料 カジノ greater demand.

To meet this new demand, NYK teamed with Hitachi Ltd. (Hitachi) and PGS Geophysical AS (PGS) to submit a tender to JOGMEC 無料 カジノ February 2018 and establish OGF 無料 カジノ December 2018.

2. About the Service

OGF will use JOGMEC’s seismic vessel for a wide range of bus無料 カジノess activities, 無料 カジノclud無料 カジノg basic geophysical surveys (for domestic petroleum and natural gas), vessel operation and management, geophysical data acquisition, data process無料 カジノg, and the supply of related equipment. This bus無料 カジノess is based on the Cab無料 カジノet Office’s Basic Plan on Ocean Policy for Japan, with the aim to acquire detailed geological 無料 カジノformation 無料 カジノ sea areas around Japan for the development of domestic resources.

- About Geophysical Surveys

To detect oil and gas fields a few kilometers below the seafloor, seismic waves are artificially produced through a sound source known as an air gun, and by receiv無料 カジノg the seismic reflection from the sea bottom on the over 8 kilometers of streamer-cable and analyz無料 カジノg the acquired data, a detailed picture of the crustal structure below the seafloor may be obta無料 カジノed.
